Bomb blast in Warsaw targets governor general spot
A workman carrying bombs exploded on Micdowa Street near the cathedral in Warsaw. Two detectives were killed along with the carrier and 23 others injured. Officials say the bomb aimed at Governor General Maxime Uch was intended for his passing from the cathedral amid May Day unrest. The explosion demolished a cafe, shattered windows, and toppled a lamp post. Three women, a student, and two schoolboys were among the injured. Police have detained a key suspect, a shoemaker named Dodrewolski, linked to the socialist faction. Authorities tightened security as arrests followed and choicest officials avoided the area. The incident marks the sixth similar blast since January. Polish editors plan strong condemnations if censorship allows.
